Judge Rules Provisions in Patriot Act to Be Illegal

Posted on September 27th, 2007 by vicezilla

A federal judge in Oregon ruled Wednesday that crucial parts of the USA Patriot Act were not constitutional because they allowed federal surveillance and searches of Americans without demonstrating probable cause.

“For over 200 years, this nation has adhered to the rule of law , with unparalleled success,” Judge Aiken’s opinion said in finding violations of the Fourth Amendment prohibitions against unreasonable search and seizure. “A shift to a nation based on extraconstitutional authority is prohibited, as well as ill advised.”

The Constitution of the United States of America; IT LIVES! Don’t tell Bush though, his meddling has hurt the rules of this country long enough!
